The article focuses on the implementation of information functions in the sphere of administrative and legal relations, the significance of which is highlighted in the provisions of the Act of proclamation of independence of Ukraine of august 24. 1991 and the fundamental law of Ukraine, which states that the creation of a national information policy requires the formation of an effective system of information and communication. It is outlined that administrative law is one of the most important branches of law in the field of information relations. In the system of administrative and legal regulation, the branch of administrative law covers a large group of managerial relations in the field of information, determining the principles, forms and methods of the information support system, the essence of information counteraction to external and internal threats, means of punishment for violations of administrative and information legislation. Also, administrative law in the field of information performs an important function - managerial, which is manifested in decisionmaking of political, economic, military, socio-cultural and many other areas of overcoming large-scale russian aggression. It has been established that administrative law, in interaction with information and other branches of law, guarantees the provision of information functions in information and telecommunication systems, focused on meeting the information needs and interests of subjects. That is why one of the promising areas of scientific development is the study of the limits of the regulatory influence of information functions in the administrative relations of public authorities. It is noted that the russian-ukrainian war, which is aggressively directed against Ukraine, is being carried out with mandatory information support, which is aimed at exerting a destructive influence on the collective consciousness, system of values, psychological attitudes of the population, military personnel, law enforcement agencies and other objects of targeted influence. The issue of countering information and psychological operations in the context of the commission of the crime of genocide against the Ukrainian people is a matter of preserving human lives and preserving the existence of the people themselves. The legal tools of administrative law used in the course of implementation of its information function, is subject to use in countering the destructive effects of information and psychological operations. It is proven that today's factors require a new look at the information function of law, we are talking about artificial intelligence technologies, protecting the sphere of legal information from the destructive impact of information warfare, finding a balance between the right to access public information and requirements for restricting access to public information under the legal regime of martial law. It has been determined that the current state of russian propaganda and information pressure against Ukraine requires the state leadership to coordinate the consolidation of public authorities with the public, aimed at forming positive trends in the implementation by citizens of the right to receive truthful information about events at the front and real logistical achievements of the domestic military-industrial complex in increasing its own weapons production. And it is in this direction that the information function should play a key role in the system of administrative and legal relations, determining effective information approaches to solving problematic issues.
